@OoBaSNoRk: Yes, because homosexuals totally have the market cornered re: lecherous and lascivious intentions on the internet, and heteros are absolved of all suspicion.
That argument is tired. Pedos are pedos are pedos, as demonstrated by the show you mentioned. We already have laws in place to fiercely pursue and punish those who behave this way. The gay community has a major problem with its inability to provide positive older role models for its younger generation because of this. Gay kids are generally raised by straight parents, and even if they are accepting, its not the same as having a resource whom you can actually relate with answer questions like "how old were you when you figured this out?", or "Am I a bad person?". Hetero kids do not have this problem, and any gay or lesbian adult with any sense of self-preservation is going to run screaming from anyone under age, regardless of how innocent or innocuous the contact is, because of this attitude.
Also, for many of you who might demand "wtf the point of this is?" - eh. If you're an adolescent/teen, gay or questioning, a geek, and in an area where seeking out guidance/support is neither healthy nor wise re: one's well being or ability to remain in their family, this is a decent surrogate.
To see those kinds of numbers, to know you're not alone. It sounds corny, but there really are times when its important to get "belonging" wherever you can find it.
Its all in good fun, and the community and devs alike keep it all well natured.
I absolutely love this and can't wait to get started. The only thing I'm apprehensive about is people abusing this to make being more obnoxious and boring "demon farm" maps to better enable power leveling.
I'm going to have to hope the mods already took this into consideration.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the stuff I've bought on Live (hopefully w/ other people online), finishing up FFIII DS.
@Mephistopheles: I stopped playing GTA on consoles after 3... the aiming/control really is that much better.
In spite of just getting an Xbox 360 on BF, I was going to get IV for PC since my monster machine can properly turn it out - its very disappointing to hear how bad it is, DRM issues excluded.
I totally just got this. I was planning on getting an HDTV on Black Friday and waiting until Christmas to get the xbox, but this was just too good to pass up.
I added all 3 items to the cart individually and applied the code, and it took it fine. -$85 off... and with no sales tax and super saver shipping, I'm only paying the 399.99. Doesn't get any better than that.
@Walshicus: Because if Sony/WotC bother putting out really rare, really overpowered cards in limits runs, it only takes one person w/ a scanner to post it on the net and then everyone will have it, completely defeating the purpose.
I can't see how the game would be fun if everyone had OMEGA EPIC+++ decks that can kill everything. People would be forced to download and print rare cards from online just to even the playing field.
Here is another article about this kid: [www.ajc.com]
He came out of the closet as soon as he graduated high school, and got himself to lose 100 lbs within a year. He was living with his partner at his dad's house, and they were saving up to get their own apartment. I realize his sexuality does not matter; it would just as tragic if he was recently engaged to a girl, and moreso if they just had a kid. To deal with all that while living in the south, then to get a job doing something you love, gaming, and to have this happen.. It really strikes a chord with me as a gay'mer.
His dad took comfort in knowing that his son died at a time when he had never been more happy. I'm not sure I could be that strong.
